Question

A card is drawn at random from a pack of 52 cards. The probability of drawing a card which is neither a heart nor a king is-

• A. $\frac { 9 } { 13 }$
• B. $\frac { 4 } { 13 }$
• C. $\frac { 10 } { 13 }$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

$\frac { 9 } { 13 }$

Answer 2

Required probability = 1 – P (heart or king) = 1 – (P(H) +

P(K) – P( H З K))

= 1 – $\left( \frac { 13 } { 52 } + \frac { 4 } { 52 } - \frac { 1 } { 52 } \right)$= $\frac { 36 } { 52 }$ = $\frac { 9 } { 13 }$
